I am a non-smoking 50 year old automotive enthusiast and former owner of an automotive performance company, f the many vehicles I have owned, his 911 has been an amazing car. It has unsurpassed reliability, wesome performance, op-down enjoyment, nd is always the center of attention. Every detail has been addressed to assure transformation from classic exotic street car to 2900 lb track-ready race-car in less than 1 hour.
This car has never been raced. It was only used as a marketing tool at a few recreational track days between '03 and '06.
This 911 is ready to be cruised on the street, aken for a long road-trip, ushed to the limit at the track, r shown off at a POC event (Porsche Owners Club). This car has been well cared for and runs perfectly. The engine, ransmission, nd suspension are in great shape and need nothing!
I bought this car in Los Angeles in '97 with 106,000 miles on it.
Before I bought it, he transmission and clutch assembly were rebuilt (I have all receipts from previous owner). I then completed all cosmetic and performance modifications between '97 and '03. By '04, t became my company's marketing & track vehicle and was a feature vehicle at the '06 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, evada.
I became a dad in '09 and had a second child in '10, o I have had little opportunity to drive the car since then. As one of my 5 vehicles, only start it up every month and drive it once every 3 months. We are now running out of room and need money for home improvements, o I am finally forced to sell it. My loss is your gain.
This is a 30 year old classic performance vehicle with a theft salvage title, o I wan to make sure I am absolutely clear as to its condition, uances, nd idiosyncrasies.
Exterior:
- Updated to '90-'92 year C2 body style
- Cabriolet Conversion performed with Porsche factory components
- Convertible top -- Outside canvas and rear plastic window are in "like new" condition (no rips or tears in top exterior, nd the plastic rear window is perfect), ut the thin interior top liner fabric needs to be replaced. However, he top is rarely up on this car when driven (garaged 5th car, arely driven).
- Convertible top boot is in good condition, till looks great.
- Porsche factory headlights and trim rings, ront bumper, nd rocker panels.
- Aftermarket fiberglass rear bumper and rear-deck with working motorized spoiler (manual switch activates up/down spoiler motion).
- Repainted in '98 in Porsche factory midnight metallic blue with highest quality PPG paint (only the inside of the trunk & the engine compartment are still original guards red). Minor chips in the paint here and there, ut still has a fantastic glossy finish.
- Solid wheel spacers to equal offset of '95-'98 911

- Almost new set of stock brake rotors and racing compound brake pads (less than 4000 miles on pads & rotors)
- New rear drive-train u-joints and bellows replaced less than 8000 miles ago
- Suspension has been tuned to eliminate the stock under-steer (pushing) tendencies of the stock 911. Leveraged several hours of track time to create near perfect at-limit balance and handling characteristics.
- Front and rear sway bars are larger than stock, nd use stiffer racing bushings.
- This car can be pushed the edge of its performance envelope with confidence and predictability
- Let go of the steering wheel at any speed and it tracks straight and true
I am definitely biased with this statement, ut....
THIS IS THE BEST HANDLING AIR-COOLED 911 THAT I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE TO DRIVE

Issues needing attention:
It has just a few minor details that are typical of a garage-kept 30 year old street and track driven collector car.
- Passenger-side power window switch circuit may have a short, eed switch(es) replaced, r just need a fuse. Electric motor is fine, indow just stopped operating one day after a long winter in the garage.
- Headlights, ail-lights, nd parking lights all work. However, he rear right brake light works properly only when the headlights are off. When headlights are on, he right rear brake light dims slightly when brakes are applied. All other exterior lights work fine at all times.
- Convertible top takes a bit of finesse to put up and secure (doesn't quite fit right, ut isn't noticeable and the seal is not bad for a post-production conversion using factory parts). When the car is stationary in the rain, he top only allows slight drips at the corner where R&L windows meet the front windshield and top. When moving, here are no drips. Still..... Even though I have used this car as a daily driver many years ago, t's not exactly the most comfortable car in that capacity.
- Fit and tolerances of doors to body are slightly off, ut only noticeable if you are looking for it under close inspection. Again, his was a SEMA show vehicle, o it's a beautiful car, ut not meant to be (nor will it ever be) concourse quality.
- Tub underside shows signs of repair, ndicating some type of accident must have occurred many years ago, ut I have had no incidents in 18 years.
- Again, he car drives true and handles great, o cosmetic tolerances seem to be the only other evidence of this pre-theft-salvage event (pre-'96).
- During body and paint update in '97, he shop elected to secure the factory rocker panels by using visible body rivets during update (instead of the factory hidden clip method). Not a clean implementation, ut created an unintended cool look to the car
That's about it.
